Kinetic watches take a while to charge. I've read that it takes 20k+ rotations of the rotor to fully charge. Seiko service says that a winder won't do much. There is such a thing as a kinetic energy supplier--a magnetic induction device that charges the battery in about three hours. Unfortunately, it has been back ordered for the past several months. Princeton Watches sell it for $170 if it is in stock.
Otherwise, the best way to charge the watch is to wear it. It will take several weeks of wearing to fully charge.Last edited on Wed Jan 13th, 2010 10:03 am by pskling
